Residence Permits/Visa Requirements/Fees
As an EU national you do not need a work permit to work in Spain. However it is always best to be prepared, and have employment set up before you go. You are able to enter the country as a tourist and register with the Spanish national employment office (Instituto Nacional de Empleo - INEM) to look for a job once you arrive.
The law changed in 2007, abolishing the need for a residence card. You are however required to carry an official form of ID when out in public. Some confusion exists where some say there is no need for any type of Residencias. However anyone planning on staying in Spain for more than 90 days will need to apply for the new residencia certificate.

As a new resident, you will be expected to register your arrival with the local police or "Padron". More information can be found on this in our "living in..." Registering your arrival in the Country.
